Albania vs Spain team news

Veteran midfielder Klaus Gjasula may be held in reserve despite his heroics off the bench in Albania’s last game.

Armando Broja was dropped from the attack but Rey Manaj faces a fight to keep his place.

Aymeric Laporte came back into the Spain team against Italy, meaning Nacho dropped out. The centre-back had not trained with his team-mates before the game, so it is perhaps unlikely he will start again four days later.

There should not be too many other changes, with top spot on the line, but the pack should be shuffled somewhat to keep legs fresh.

Albania vs Spain prediction

Spain have looked mighty impressive in their first two games. While the goals did not flow against Italy as they did against Croatia, they racked up enough chances.

Albania have been entertaining yet are not the more progressive of teams. They must also attack La Roja, and could well be picked off.

Spain to win, 2-0.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

Albania have only managed three goals in their eight defeats to Spain. They did, however, come close to ending La Roja’s 100 per-cent record with a 2-1 friendly defeat in 2022, but for Dani Olmo’s last-minute winner.
